| The theme basket silent auction is always a favorite. |
The end of day bell is a welcomed sound to most students. But hundreds who visited Bleckley Elementary Thursday night wanted to be there. Some even stayed after it was time to go home.
 |
| The goal of this game was to find the pink dot. |
That's because the school was hosting their annual Winter Festival. A fundraiser for BCES, proceeds will go toward school supplies such as Chrome Books. After paying $2 to get in, a variety of games and activities awaited children.
 |
| The computer lab served as a place to play Bingo. |
All cost tickets which could be purchased in increments of four or in bulk. A treat walk, nail art, wagon ride, football toss, bouncy slide, golf game, was just some of the fun available. Parents could place bid on items in a live auction.
